Water 8 oz Minced clams; drained, juice - reserved
Why reserved?
To mix with the water for a bit of flavour. From the directions:
Heat water, reserved clam liquor and 1 tablespoon salt to boiling in

Thank You, bot how about w/o alkohol (liquor, ...) ?
Liquor in this case is as defined by
https://www.thefreedictionary.com/liquor
" A rich broth resulting from the prolonged cooking of meat or vegetables, especially greens. Also called pot liquor."
Here's another recipe that uses "liquor" in that sense. It's a fairly
common English/American cooking term.
